Mountain warming means there will be more disasters like the Nepal flood
Mountainous regions across the planet are warming especially fast, melting the ice that glues rocky slopes and glaciers together

A glacier collapse is most likely cause of the Nepal disaster
Melting snow appears to have weakened a steep glacier at an altitude of 5 kilometres, causing it to plummet around a kilometre into the…

Global warming already causing crop losses of over $20 billion a year
Climate change is already having a big impact on crop yields, and the subsequent financial losses will continue to rise as the world keeps…

If you aren’t terrified by this heatwave, you should be
The extreme heat currently being felt in Europe isn’t the new normal – much worse is to come, and we are doing far too…
